I'm making a DIY solar heater from a garden hose, for my Intex, 15x48 easy set pool.
I have an old Intex Krystal Clear #603 pump that I was planning on using, for the heater only.
It would pull the water or of the pool, with a regular sized intex pool hose, but the garden hose would be attached to the discharge port, with an adapter.
Instead of putting it on a timer, I was going to use a flow restricter in the garden hose, so it will trickle out, giving it
enough time to get heated.
My question is, will I burn out the pump motor this way, or will it be ok as long as the pump is filled with water?
Thanks.
